Okay, so for the interview, the more extracurricular activities the better. Thing is, I don't do much at all. So what should I do?
Also, do we have to bring in awards and achievements to show to the interviewers?
Much appreciated

You will need to show them your semester 1 2019 report and semester 2 2018 report plus any competition awards e.g big science competition or AMC that you scored well in. Only compulsory thing is ur reports. If you score well across all subjects I think it'll make up for your lack of extracurriculars at least.

im so screwed for the test. for extracurricular i only have piano whereas i had karate a year or two back would that be enough?
i think im fine with knowledge but just need to practice my speed (like someone just posted) anyone have any recommendations/ strategies
i dont know ANYTHING about the writing part idek where to start
rb pleasee
also idk how dm works on this but if u want to talk about the tests i have snapchat just add me on that(doing mhs and jmss)

Know how to write good scientific reports and practice writeups as they will be very important since it is one of the writing parts. Not too sure abt second one. Seems like it's usually about climate science so make sure u study up on that. Oxford 10 science chapter 6 has some good info I think

[Rohan1176]

When are the interviews normally held? And for the writing pieces, what do we include for the practical writeup? Like I know the basics that are taught at my school but they might be expecting something I don't know about. Lastly, whats the other writing piece that has to be done and what areas should I know for this?
Much appreciated

For Science reasoning is it 30 or 40? Some say it is 40 questions in 30 mins and others say it is 30 questions.

I even heard from someone it is 60! pls reply soon!!

for those doing the mhs test tomorrow,
as soon as u finish the test just write down what u remember from the mathematics and numerical tests maybe that will help for jmss

MHS 2019 

[Hi im jeff]

yo I did the MHS year 10 exam a couple of days ago.

I found the exam really easy, I finished both math papers with at least 5 minutes to spare 

The hardest questions on the test needed you to know your Pythagoras Triads (3,4,5 and 6,8,10 etc.) and there were some questions on parabolas which weren't too difficult if you knew the basics.

In numerical there were a lot of patterns and I could easily identify them in a couple of seconds. Also there were a lot of long questions which required good algebra skills. I think if you brush up on all of your year 9 and a little bit of year 10 skills you should be fine for the exam. Many people say that the JMSS exam is easier than MHS so I think if you know this stuff you'll be good to go.

Im doing the exam as well so good luck to everyone trying out!

I'm pretty sure they are referring to the Year 8 one (i may be wrong) All the same, I am gonna revise 9 and 10. There's more competition if you go to MHS (some people from my class got 5 superiors  ) so i don't think i'll get in. I went to a bad school in yr 8 and only got one superior and rest above average and that is why i got in. the test may be rlly hard like the yr 8 one or, as you say, quite easy like yr 9 select entry

Isn't the test for year 10 entry, finished. 

[fibssggloss]

Isn't the test for year 10 entry, finished.

Nope )) it'll be on next week Saturday.

[fibssggloss]

Has anyone got their email about the test for next Saturday?\

[yvngblxd]

soo is the prac writing this the whole prac writeup or just the discussion???

[MaheenNoted]

I'm sooo nervous for this test. I have been waiting for months and now there's only a week left. 

Has anyone got their email about the test for next Saturday?\

I haven't gotten the email but apparently according to some people, the email comes a week before the exam. So we should get it tomorrow. 
I also heard that it was being held at Claufield Race course but they could be wrong.

I have a question. Does the test results and entry to interview involve the students at ur schl?  There has been rumours going around, cuz i have a lot of people from my school sitting the test- they said that 3% of students who pass would get into the interview. So if out of 15 students, 7 passed, would like 2/3 people get into the interview ? 

soo is the prac writing this the whole prac writeup or just the discussion???

The prac writing according to some people is just the discussion and use have to use the rest of the prac report to help.

So confused !
